#1 Compare wid DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > [US-Pak = London Summit] TALKS FAIL- LACK OF APOLOGY [by US] A [sore = key]STICKING POINT FOR PAKISTAN | ...: PAKISTAN STILL WANTS AN APOLOGY, US SAYS "NO".
The US is repor also refusing to alter or concede to Pakistan on any of its arguments.
VARIOUS = The lack of formal Apology by the US may cause Pakistan to return to its former post-Saalaa hardline, ONLY HARDER + MORE DIFFICULT FOR THE US???

#4 DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > LATEST US DRONE STRIKES TORPEDOES REOPENING OF NATO SUPPLY ROUTES | PAKISTAN MAY BOYCOTT CHICAGO SUMMIT [wid US-NATO] + KEEP SUPPLY ROUTES CLOSED.
* SAME > PAKISTAN CONDEMNS US DRONE STRIKE - MAY PULL OUT FORM CHICAGO SUMMIT.
Pakistan's PM Gilani is attempting to moderate the tone + language of the US-Pak rift but by most accounts is unlikely to succeed widout US concessions to Pakistan as per a formal apology + respect for Pak sovereignty. PERTS ARE WARNING THAT ISLAMABAD = PAK GOVT. MAY RETALIATE BY IMLEMENTING MORE HARDLINE RESTRICTIONS/POLICIES AHZ US-NATO SUPPLY MOVEMENTS, E.G. CLOSURE OF PAK AIRSPACE TO US MIL AIR CARGO.
IIUC, a more hardline Pakistani counter-response will likely raise the probabilities as per US-led Milaction agz Iran this summer [or by EOY 2012], which IMO is not what the Bammer wants going into the 2012 POTUS Elex Campaign.

Also as per the 2012 Elex for the Bammer Team + DemoLeft ...
* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > PENTAGON REPORT ADMITS US WAS LOSING THE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN.
* SAME > US NAVY SEALS FAKED OSAMA RAID/STUNT - INSIGHT VIEW FROM ISI OFFICIAL | PAKISTANI INTELLIGENCE OFFICIAL DISCUSSES ABBOTTABAD RAID -TERMINAL X.
ARTIC > PAK ISI Official says OBL was already dead for years, + Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is a US CIA Asset-Operative.
HHHMMMMM, HHHMMMM, wehell, given what I personally know about the relationship or links between KSM + OBL, the PAK ISI Official cannot make such an argument widout directly inferring or implicating that that OBL himself was also CIA. IOW, THE US CIA CONSPIRED OR ALLOWED NYC TO BE ATTACKED BACK ON 9-11, HELPING TO KILL 3000 PEOPLE IN A MAJOR AMERICAN CITY.
* DRUDGEREPORT > FED OFFICIALS: US ECONOMY FACING A "FISCAL CLIFF" AT YEAR'S END.
